Bubble (UT only)

Bubble sheet assignments are currently only supported for exams at the University of Texas at Austin.

To create this type of assignment, you must have an assignment type with the "Bubble" submit method in your Grading Scheme.

Bubblesheet assignments will be denoted with the icon to the left on your assignments page.

While the visuals below will be slightly different, the fields will be the same.

Additional Options

Randomize question order: determines whether the questions will appear in the order you set, or be randomized for each student.

Optional Class Instructions: is any additional instructions you want to appear at the beginning of the assignment.

Exams can be created in two modes:

Pre-bind (or early-bind) - Exam versions will be bound to a specific student EID. Bubble sheets will be printed with the student EID and version number already filled in. This is the only setting that will offer seating chart functionality.

Late-bind - Exam versions will NOT be tied to a specific student EID. Students will fill in their EID and version number on the bubble sheets when they take the exam.

We recommend pre-bind to avoid mistakes when students bubble in their EID and exam version number and are happy to provide guidance on bubble sheet printing. For more information about printing exams on the University of Texas at Austin campus, please contact us at questhelp@austin.utexas.edu

Exams can be hybrid, such that some questions are multiple choice, and some are manually graded! Please reach out to us at questhelp@austin.utexas.edu if you'd like to explore that option for an upcoming exam.

The method of adding questions to an assignment is the same for all assignment types and is explained here.

Once the assignment is ready for students to start working on, you must publish it to the class. This prevents further editing of the assignment, so make sure you mean it. This process is explained in depth here.
